Today marks the 3 year anniversary of the death of Christopher Hitchens. Hated by some loved by many. I myself didn't always agree with him, but always loved his Jeffersonian bluntness about religion.

3 Years today since Hitch died.

Still missed.
Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"
Sometimes it's great to go to Youtube, sit back, and watch the glory of the Hitchslap. I've never seen an orator who could eviscerate someone like Hitchens.

The first time I encountered the Hitch online it was in response to Jerry Falwell's death when he said, "If they gave him an enema they could bury him in a matchbox". Instant respect.

What a loss, the old bastard. Even when he pissed me off, he was entertaining. And he had a point, black label is an underrated whiskey for the money.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
He who loves God cannot endeavour that God should love him in return - Baruch Spinoza
Hitchens was awesome...
Famine, struggle, bitterness, war, suffering, misery, all of that for 98,000 years. Heaven watches this with complete indifference. And then 2000 years ago, thinks “That’s enough of that. It’s time to intervene,”…
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
